I don't have any experience rigging the duo.

Do you know the weight of the individual panels?

Are the inner panels as heavy as, say, a typical 15M complete wing?

If two people can handle the individual panels reasonably easily, then
that would be quite nice. My only experience rigging and de-rigging
large 2-seat ships has been with ASK-21s and Blaniks, and they are
both quite a challenge to rig due to the heavy wings.

I am also assuming that all connections are automatic?



The Duo Discus inner wing panels weigh 215 lbs. / 98kg each. The glider
goes together just like a Discus, only bigger and heavier. We have
assembled ours with 2 people and without rigging aids (other than wing
stands) numerous times. 3 people make it easier. 4 mostly get in the
way...

In the long run that will ruin your back!

I can rig my duo all by myself without any help and without any heavy
lifting in light wind conditions.
At stronger wind conditions I need someone to stabilize the wing
dolly.
The only lifting I need to do is rolling the wing panels out of the
trailer into the wingdolly, but I'm working on a solution for that.
See the video on the web site.
